Incredible MSI Monitor
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased my MSI monitor about a week ago, and I can already tell the difference in my computer’s performance. For starters, as someone who is upgrading from a 15” laptop, the curved 23.6” size does the job perfectly for me. I can have multiple programs open at a time and spread them across the screen without straining my eyes. The VA panel makes the picture very clear and the colors extremely vivid. The monitor itself looks extremely clean, especially with the edge-to-edge frameless display. As for my gaming experience, the 1-ms response time and 144 Hz refresh rate are seriously unbeatable for the price. I’m able to play high-FPS games with zero problems whatsoever. This monitor is legitimately a steal when you take price into account. I am always wary of things that sound too good to be true, but this is the real deal. 23.6”, curved display, 144 Hz and 1ms response for $200 – it doesn’t get much better than that. I would definitely recommend this monitor to anyone who needs a quality monitor for a low price.

Perfect Gaming Monitor
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first and only gaming monitor and I must say the specs and the performance is top notch, for a monitor that’s only 200 bucks it is worth every penny. The curved monitor just makes it look sleek and slim, this monitor has 144HZ and 1ms response time, adjustable stand and a lot of other fun features. I highly recommend this monitor to anyone just getting into gaming monitors!!

DEAD PIXELS but great monitor
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had quite a journey with this monitor, I am making the transition from console to PC, and I wanted this to be my first monitor. I don't use FreeSync because it is basically the android of GPU, but the curved display, presets, on screen crosshairs make this a PC gamers dream. I am in love with the modes, from FPS game, Real time strategy, eye-saver mode, and more. The 144hz and 1ms response time is beautiful. I am grateful to have gotten this monitor for 170 dollars as it is quite impossible to get a monitor for this low price. HOWEVER it was too good to be true as the first monitor has a literal one inch slash/line of dead pixels that made me immediately return the monitor. I waited one week to receive this by in-store pickup, and had to wait another week for the replacement. When I exchanged the monitor no questions were asked and they immediately placed an order for my exchange. It arrived that following week and I opened it to find only one pixel. I had already just built my rig and had been gaming on a 720p tv, it was torture, so I just sucked it up and kept the one dead pixel. I decided to keep it because I did not want to wait another week for an other exchange and the dead pixel is on the bottom left corner out of view and is hardly noticeable. Other than the one dead pixel this monitor is absolutely beautiful and I thought the curved monitor aspect was a gimmick, but it is immersive and amazing for my first monitor.

Great budget monitor.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I always feel like shopping for a gaming monitor is a chore, finding a monitor with good legit reviews is very difficult. A lot of reviews youll see list dead pixels or broken parts and that makes me wary as a buyer. I came across this monitor and it hit all the marks for me. Its 144hz (youll need a display port cable which is not included in the box to achieve 144hz), its curved which is really good for immersion and its got a great stand. My monitor took 15 minutes or less to assemble and worked easily and quickly right from the get go. The power and settings menu are very easy to operate. I give this monitor a big thumbs up and would highly recommend it!!

Great Bang for the buck!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would give it 4.5 stars. A little knock for small text being a little hard to read, but that’s typical for a VA panel. Great buy if you can find it on sale for $169 or around there. The curve is super mild, nothing crazy. I have two of these for work, and the 140hz is great for gaming, along with the freesync. Also love that it has multiple inputs. Display port for the computer and HDMI for a console. Also, user interface is Excellent!! One of the better ones out there. It has a small joystick-like selectee on the back bottom right corner. Only complaint would be that the joystick is a little to high up, slightly hard to reach... but that’s minor. Excellent stand too. Easy touch up and down, tilt, and rotation. If your on the fence, just do it.

Amazing MSI Monitor
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This curved gaming monitor is so crisp and clear. Refresh rate is 144Hz, when I play online, it was amazing. I love the monitor stand, adjust any angle you want. I give it more than 5 stars. Beat all other brands by all other 24 inches monitor.

Way too good
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pictures don’t do any justice to this moniter it looks VERY clean!! Deep blacks!! Mine had no dead pixels thank god as I was scared because of other people’s unfortunately bad experiences. It’s very big and even too big for me to put my face up too way bigger than I thought but still better for gaming and way more immersive in my opinion. Definitely recommend to anyone!!!!!

Amazing monitor.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This panel, the overall screen, and its performance come from Samsung. Samsung made a line of Quantum Dot monitors and this panel is from that line minus the Quantum Dots. It has vibrant colors and a solid performance. I personally bought 3 while it was on sale for 169$. I have tested all the gaming panels up to the 1000$ Dell 120hz ultrawide and those monitors never made me feel like they were worth the money. They all had perks and solid performance but why spend so much more for a similar performance. 3 monitors no issues. Would highly recommend. To get the best coloration like all monitors you will need to play with the OSD. After tweaking them this has become my favorite setup and will remain it until 4k 120hz is more viable in 2020/2021

A good 144Hz Gaming Monitor with a VA panel.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While the monitor comes with 144Hz freesync the VA panel is a bit washed out when compared to an IPS monitor but still looks great. Wish it had more options in the menu to calibrate other settings like color, adjustment, and other things. Dell IPS (Left) | MSI (VA (Right)

CRAZY flickering on the screen
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The monitor, though it looks good and does promise the response time and refresh rate, has these awful vertical lines and flickering. It’s unbearable at times, and I would like to note that I have never hit, dropped, or even moved the monitor since I installed it 2 years ago. Just before the warranty ran out, the screen began to flicker. So I sent in an RMA ticket but it would be $80 to send it, and then I would have to wait 2 months for them to either fix or send a new one back. I would not get another MSI monitor as they are clearly only built to last until the warranty runs out. This happened to two of my friends who purchased the same monitor as well. TL:DR: This monitor has bad flickering and RMA is insanely expensive and impractical. Don’t buy this monitor, if you want a good deal, go somewhere else. *The photos show the lines and artifacts but not the flickering because I can’t attach videos. Just imagine those lines teleporting everywhere randomly.

Monitor is Amazing!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a 144hz gaming monitor and I came across this one which was on sale fro $159.99. First of, the price was really good compared to other 144hz monitor prices. I love the looks of it and the curve it has on it, which caught my eye and made me want to buy it. I had never tried a curved monitor before and now that I have, I honestly like it better than regular monitors, looks and performance wise. It for sure met my expectations. Now for the 144hz, I had only played on 60 frames before and now that I tried 144, IT IS AMAZINGLY SMOOTH! I am not even exaggerating! It feels way better and the games run soo much smoother. I do not regret any bit of getting this monitor and I recommend it to anyone eyeing it!

Great monitor for the price.
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this monitor on sale and I have to say- it exceeded my expectations. I can admit that the monitor being curved is more than a little gimmicky, but that strips not away from how well the monitor performs. The 144hz is buttery smooth compared to the 60hz I was used to and the stand allows for a user dictated experience. I have yet to notice a dead pixel and the many input options allow me to enjoy the monitor on different devices. All in all, this was a great buy that I do not regret in the slightest.

Nice curved screen and color contrast
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros -curved screen -color contrast -good price for 144hz - sturdy stand Cons my DC power port on the monitor must be loose because if the wire is not positioned the correct way the screen flickers and loses power.

Great monitor even without the sale
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well I picked the monitor up 4 days ago and what an improvement over my other "60" hz screen. The screen is bright and the colors are too, it looks so good it's actually awesome. I've been gaming mostly AC Unity and AC Black Flag and they look great. Having a curved monitor is really nice, I was kinda wondering how it would be compared to a flat one... I don't think I will ever go back if possible. I saw it go on sale and bought ASAP and I'm glad I did. The interface is easy to use... especially with the finger joystick in back (push it in to shut off screen). It's really a plug and play thing, I used it for about 10 hours before I checked the settings. The stand is very nice, you can control the height as well as the tilt and left/right swivel. I would buy this instantly if it broke because I love it so much.
